The takeaway: “Hey, maybe Jon Gruden!” is going to be a consistent meme for any open coaching job in the NFL or top-tier college spot. It’s fun, but… come on.

This guy! There is a pretty good argument that Gruden shouldn’t get back into coaching at all. He is entertaining on TV. He seems to enjoy it. The platform is bigger. The lifestyle is clearly more relaxed.

This guy…: All that begs a valid question of whether Gruden still has the chops to be a head coach, let alone something he has never been — head coach of a major (arguably THE major) college program.

He isn’t remotely qualified to battle it out with Nick Saban and Urban Meyer. He is, however, qualified to battle it out for the attention of your remote. Stick to TV, “Coach.”

Last word: Oh, Gruden might find the Texas job interesting. Who doesn’t? Who wouldn’t? But it’s a big, Longhorn State-sized leap from “Hmm!” to “Hired!”
